Why does Microsoft always have to come up with their f-in’ proprietary formats so that it becomes hard to impossible to support devices and systems on other platforms? Now, I know why and so do you…

I’m talking about synchronisation of Windows Mobile devices with non-Windows platforms. Theoretically, it is possible, but… There are lots and lots of complications along the road. This creates poor user experience and a lot of frustration. Why not make ActiveSync an open protocol for an engineering world!? People have to hack and reverse-engineer things when they could just have a nice and complete specification. This way, Linux, Mac, users would be able to use all functionality of their devices. And I’m sure that a lot more people would be willing to purchase WM Devices.

I wish Google Android had complete MS Exchange support. Once it happens, I’ll dump my WM phone and buy some nice Google Android device .
